Improv Utopia Yosemite 2024
Patrick Rowland presents
3Peat Form
Workshop
3Peat form is Pretty Flower meets Armando meets Beer, Shark, Mice. We will utilize and break all the rules of improv at the same time. We take a suggestion and do a personal monologue that is followed by fast-paced scenes that explore characters and themes, starting with a source scene and then branching out into ragout runs, slower grounded scenes, and then occasionally returning to the source scene. The 3Peat form is heavily dependent on trust and always being in the moment and never planning what's next. If you are not tired by the end of the show then you've probably done it wrong.
